Teens need immunizations, too
Everybody knows that babies and young children need vaccinations, but shots for teen-agers are also important.
So important that June is National Teen Immunization Month. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends children ages 11 to 18 be immunized against tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, meningococcal disease, influenza, hepatitis B and chickenpox.
And now girls may be inoculated against HPV, the human papillomavirus.
The Greene County Combined Health District offers the following clinic hours.
